Six Republican California lawmakers sent a letter to President Donald Trump, asking him to avoid sweeping workplace immigration raids that have caused some workers major fear.

Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones and Assembly Member Laurie Davies, who both represent parts of San Diego County, each signed the June 27 letter penned by State Sen. Suzette Valladares, of the 23rd District.

“We have heard from employers in our districts that recent ICE raids are not only targeting undocumented workers, but also creating widespread fear among other employees, including those with legal immigration status,” the letter reads. “This fear is driving vital workers out of critical industries.”

“We support the enforcement of federal law,” the letter continues. “But we urge you to direct ICE and DHS to focus their enforcement operations on criminal immigrants, and when possible to avoid the kinds of sweeping raids that instill fear and disrupt the workplace.”

Jones and Davies both declined interview requests.

Valladares said the group sent the letter because they were frustrated by California’s Senate Bill 54 – a law passed in 2017 to limit state and local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Earlier this year, they introduced a bill to require local law enforcement to work with federal agents, which ultimately did not advance.

“We have seen decades of failed policy when it comes to border security,” Valladares said. “And so our real intent behind this letter was asking that California change its sanctuary laws, which is why we presented our bill.”

When asked about the letter, the White House pointed to Trump’s comments that aired on Fox News Sunday, proposing a kind of temporary pass to exempt certain workplaces from raids.

“When you go into a farm and he’s had somebody working with him for nine years doing this kind of work, which is hard work to do and a lot of people aren’t going to do it, and you end up destroying a farmer because you took all the people away, it’s a problem,” Trump said.

“I’m on both sides of the thing, I’m the strongest immigration guy that there’s ever been, but I’m also the strongest farmer guy that there’s ever been and that includes also hotels and, you know, places where people work,” he continued.

“We’re working on it right now, we’re going to work it so that some kind of temporary pass where people pay taxes, where the farmer can have a little control as opposed to you walk in and take everybody away,” Trump added.

His comments came as an analysis from the Cato Institute shows 93% of people booked in ICE detention since the fiscal year began in October have not been convicted of a violent crime, in contrast with the administration’s stated goal of targeting violent criminals.  

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday she didn’t have further details on Trump’s proposal.

“The President’s focus and the focus of this administration is, of course, to remove public safety threats from the streets and to deport as many of the illegal criminals, especially the violent criminals, that we know are still here because of the previous administration,” Leavitt said.

“I think it's important to recognize, too, that when you create a disruption in a workplace, it detracts from the purpose of what the president is trying to accomplish, which is to deport criminal, illegal aliens,” said Andrew Hayes, a Lakeside School Board member who’s active in the San Diego County Republican Party.

“The whole purpose of saying let's bring the tenor down is important because people who are here illegally, who are criminals, should know that they're going to be deported,” Hayes continued. “But at the same time, you don't want to threaten people who you know are going to work.”

The letter also asked Trump to “modernize our immigration process to allow non-criminal undocumented immigrants with longstanding ties to our communities a path toward legal status” and reform work visa programs to make it easier for California businesses to hire more employees.

“Here in California, our immigrant population is a huge part of our workforce now,” Valladares said. “We're calling on the president and Congress to figure out those details of what that looks like, but with the understanding that immigrants are an important part of our workforce and California's workforce.”

That’s a whole lot of words to say that the president and his minion R congress critters don’t know what the fuck they are doing. Cool story Hansel.

Do you all think these LEF memes and shit are real people?  I mean, I know a decent number of Trump voters of varying income/education/intelligence levels, and none of them are regretting their vote.

Yep, a ton of these are fakes.  These dumbfucks will go to the grave along with whatever family members are affected before they admit they're wrong.  Sure a small % buck that trend, but a solid chunk of these are fake. 

 

edit:  BUT a shitload of dotards people are, most definitely, eating shit due to his policies, that gruntles me...

my doc group covers a small rural hospital in Trump country.  Red hats are the norm for those patients.  We were forced to take this contract as a condition to getting more lucrative urban contracts from this hospital system.   We have been trying to hire to help cover it for years to no avail.   This hospital will almost certainly close soon since 90% of the patients are Medicaid.  Oh well, problem solved and another big tax return for me.   Enjoy my liberal tear I guess.. 

what is overlooked in all these discussions is that the bad shit that will happen due to Medicare cuts, will not occur until after the midterms next year because that’s when they go into effect.

And every R congressman will lie and claim they saved *their* healthcare, until they get reelected and their constituents get rug pulled.

I’m actively rooting for irma’s demise

No pronouns. No healthcare. You chose your priority. Eat shit, irma.

As a T1D, I literally could not interview that moron without bringing her to tears as a result of her own stupidity.

 

And how did their representative, david valadao vote on BBB?

I'll keep this comment out of the DT "Thread of the Rains," but I have a feeling lots of red voters in those hill country counties are gonna realize that Trump's FEMA and federal government assistance in general for the recovery effort will be suboptimal.

Quote

Trump has convened a council to review and recommend “improvements or structural changes” to FEMA, and suggested the agency might “go away.” He has also said states would best take care of disasters on their own, with the federal government reimbursing some of the costs. 

Under Trump, FEMA has denied federal assistance to Arkansas, West Virginia and Washington state, and refused North Carolina’s request for extended relief funding following Hurricane Helene, according to Stateline.

I guess Abbott will have to bust out the checkbook.

And Florida wants to pay for their new detention camp with, guess what? FEMA funds.

Its apparently sitting around $30B, but hopefully that's not already earmarked for something sensible like BTC or TRUMP crypto purchases.

For a sense of scale, the costs of the Blanco River flood were estimated at ~ $3B.  Somehow I feel Abbott won't do enough, regardless.  Call it intuition.

A large number of towns in the south are functional only because of Medicaid. It funds health systems, fire departments, stores, etc. 
Oh well. Fuck ‘em. 

Rural America can’t die fast enough. I have no interest in continuing to fund their failed culture and delusional politics. Fuck them. They think they’re capitalists? Cool, let the free market sort it out.

I can't celebrate people like Irma suffering. These are the same sad, hopeless people that preachers take advantage of. But this advisor to Kevin Stitt? That's the good stuff.

The GOP has been trying to starve rural Texas to death for 30 years. As far as I can tell the people there want it to die.

They will absolutely not realize that. They will 100% blame Biden.

Lucky for us, Dan Patrick is currently "Acting Governor".  He's probably more useless than Abbott.
